Bikram Choudhury, the founder of Bikram Yoga. Bikram Yoga is a type of hot yoga that has exploded in popularity over the years. Bikram is a yoga teacher who helped expand yoga internationally. Here are 15 inspiring Bikram Choudhury quotes:

Negative attitude is nine times more powerful than positive attitude.

Truth is the most bitter to accept, swallow and digest it. The moment you speak truth, you lose your popularity. But I don't care.

Maintaining spirituality and humanism are the keys to success. It's a balance.

If you don't suffer, you don't get anything. Nothing easy in life.

I like money. You like money. We need the money. But, money is not going to bring humanity and spiritualism into your life.

You’re never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.

In life you only have to travel 6 inches. That is the distance from your mind to your heart.

Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself. First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind. It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit.

If you can, you must.

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years?

Until you destroy your body, you don't learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it. The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it.

The real pleasure, the real peace, the real enlightenment is to give. The more you give the more you get. If you give 10, you get 100.

The right way is the hard way.

Nothing can steal happiness, peace, away from you: if anyone does make you angry, you are the loser; if someone can allow you to lose peace, you are the loser.
